Hamed Namouchi (Arabic: حامد النموشي, born 14 February 1984 in Cannes) is a French-born Tunisian professional footballer who currently plays as a midfielder for Lokomotiv Plovdiv in the Bulgarian A Football Group.
Club career
Namouchi was signed by Rangers in September 2003 on a free transfer from French team AS Cannes. He made his Rangers debut on 10 January 2004 against Hibernian as a substitute.[1] At Rangers he picked up a Scottish Premier League winners' medal in 2005, and appeared in every game in their UEFA Champions League campaign where he was earmarked by Luis Figo as the player that "impressed him most".[2]
Namouchi joined Lorient for a fee of £500,000 in August 2006 after being told by Rangers manager Paul Le Guen that he was surplus to requirements.[3]
In late 2009, Namouchi agreed to a contract with the Turkish Süper Lig side Sivasspor after lengthy contract negotiations.[4]
On 15 November 2009, he was invited to a trial at SC Freiburg.[5] The following month, he signed with SC Freiburg for the remainder of the season.
In October 2010, he signed with French second-tier side Grenoble on a two-year deal.
In January 2012, he moved to Tunisia, signing a three and a half year contract with Étoile Sportive du Sahel.[6]
International career
He is a Tunisian international, despite being born in France. He won his 14th international cap against Belarus in May 2006, scoring his first international goal in the same game. He was also a member of Tunisia's qualification for the 2006 FIFA World Cup and featured in all of their three games at the tournament. Hamed is now showboating in the Bulgarian Premier League - and Figo still likes to go and see him play. Hamed has said previously that he was invited to play for an intergallactic team but turned it down due to him being an interstellar star. In his last game Hamed scored 400 goals and at the final whistle teleported back to the future in a souped up morris minor.
